CEO of sex and gaming… Is that you?

Love thier section on paint where the image model thinks the llm is talking about makeup

Are you looking for suggestions for a battery backup? How much are you willing to spend?

“You can’t steal a digital game” is borderline sovereign citizen talk. Artists operate within the structure of society. Just because the medium in which they deploy their art is digital and most distribution platforms feasible have licenses with unsavory terms, theft is not automatically justified.

That sort of logic could extend to the idea that it’s okay to squat in a particular ocupied house because the owner doesn’t own it, a bank does, and the money is imaginary, and the bank’s policies are unfair. There is something valid and authentic to the sentiment, but practically speaking, you’re still just being an asshole.

That is to say, extenuating circumstances may modify that. If you can’t afford a game, or if you really hate the developers, more people may agree with you. If you would freeze to death outside of the home, or, if the home’s current occupants occupy it unfairly, then perhaps people would be more empathetic.

But to declare that the wholesale theft of digital goods as fine just because you don’t like the platform is anarchy without any of the nuance of anarchy.

I feel like the current gas situation isn’t as valuable a talking point to Americans as people want it to be. Rent, food, medical care, car cost, etc are all already up by similar percentages or more and Republicans still aren’t rioting. They are delusional cultists.

Try recording yourself talking about the subject out loud in private. Like, in a car. I use a program called audacity to make a transcript, then I take parts I like to write. I find it’s easier to talk about things than write when experiencing block.

Bro don’t exaggerate, Factorio came out in early access in 2016. That’s only… 10… Years ago… 💀💀💀💀💀💀

I love how this is formatted like a poem

🥵🥵🥵

Most mp3s have the artist name in the metadata or title. And, even the most rudimentary platforms show this information front and center. It is not an ad. It is a feature we desire. We want to know who made it, so that we can understand its context, its subtexts, and yes, find the artist for more of their work.

Image files typically do not make use of these mechanisms, and certainly the platforms we view them on rarely do. The general convention is to ‘sign’ or watermark it instead.

It is as simple as that. To remove the signature of a webcomic is like stripping an mp3 of all metadata and making the filename a random string. It’s fundamentally an inconvenience to everyone involved. No one wants this.

(This is not to mention that the wholesale removal of attribution and complete divorce of creator and creation serves the ultimate goals of corporations. They’ve done it with food (where does your milk come from), furniture (who made your chair), and now with art (who made this comic?)

You seem to be conflating an ad (buy JokoMolk brand milk!) With attribution (this milk was produced at x farm). Perhaps, if we better understood the orgins of things, we might make informed decisions!)

I would like to mirror another commentor and mention that Shougo is Japanese and probably issuing Claude to communicate.

It’s kind of similar, I think. I mean most store bought bread is low quality compared to the artisinal product. Corporations don’t care if the product sucks so long as they can replace the worker.

This is such a weird post. Is it satirical? Baking as a profession functionally does not exist anymore.

At this point it’s literally cheaper and easier to fight WWIII IRL.

Settings->system->switch

It’s prettyI think they could really use making a web page that covers all the current features, because some of the old articles say that the switch doesn’t work or it doesn’t support the Fairphone moments app. I think it actually does, although I haven’t used it yet.

I just got mine yesterday (also USA). I am a little sad to lose tap to pay. Hopefully, microg and team come up with a solution.

The only app that completely refuses to work so far is ClaudeAi.

I configured the physical switch to the flashlight. Are you leaving it on mic and camera?

He was giving them real school shooter vibes, to the point that employees were manually reviewing his account, but they choose to ban him because they saw it is less than credible.

I regularly attend my local for fire council and burn as part of my work. Wildland firefighters are constantly exposed to carcinogens. There are no standard mask, and with few exceptions basically no one uses them in my state. There are no regulations on clean areas for decon or outdoor storage for contaminated grear. No one ever cleans trucks so the inside is more dangerous than the outside from an air quality perspective. Your clothes give you cancer, your boots give you cancer, the foam gives you cancer, your office gives you cancer, the work gives you cancer.

It’s extra fun if you do prescribed fire because you don’t even get the same pay grade in most orgs because it’s “safer.” The USA is truly a shithole country. I’m lucky that I do it only 12 days or so a year, instead of full time.

So many levels of wrong. That’s a gen 2, maybe 3 Prius. Both of which have instant electric torque and scroll style AC compressors which run with the engine off. Excellent cars which are still good value today.
